Midnight Ride

In celebration of SRQ’s Annual Bike Warrior special edition, an homage to bikes, Bradenton and blockbusters.

BICYCLE LOVER PEE-WEE HERMAN and Bradenton big shot Snooty the Manatee soar over Florida palm trees to recreate one of director Steven Spielberg’s most iconic shots in this Suncoast-specific ode to the two-wheeled transport from artist Joel Stralnic. A student of illustration at Ringling College of Art and Design with a focus on mixed media (pastel, collage, pen and ink) and poster art, Stralnic aims to graduate in 2018, but has already begun amassing a portfolio with both local and international clients, such as Pfizer and BMS Oncology. His work is inspired by illustrators such as Dave McKean, Mike Mignola, Gustav Klimt and more.
